[slurm-users] Limit a partition or host to jobs less than 4 cores?

[Paul Edmon]

Probably the best way to accomplish this is via a job_submit.lua 
script.  That way you can reject at submission time.  There isn't a 
feature in the partition configurations that I am aware that can 
accomplish this but a custom job_submit script certainly can.
